"When I started out on Broadway, 'Dreamgirls,' we lost half of our cast to AIDS." Sheryl Lee Ralph—famous for her breakout role in the original Broadway production of 'Dreamgirls' and her ongoing portrayal of the no-nonsense kindergarten teacher on the sitcom 'Abbott Elementary'—champions another kind of teaching through her decades-long work as an activist, particularly raising awareness about HIV/AIDS. Recently, in collaboration with the DIVA Foundation, the nonprofit she founded in 1990, Ralph executive-produced documentary special 'Living Proof' which highlights the experiences of Black women living with HIV in the South. Leading by example, Sheryl Lee Ralph is honored among TIME's 16 Women of the Year. Read her story and meet the honorees here: time-magazine.visitlink.me/UBKkCp

Call me old fashioned, but I think you can get pretty far in life by just finishing things. The world is full of half-written books, half-built businesses, and half-kept promises. You stand out by closing loops. By doing what you said you’d do. By having the courage to finish.

[THREE FARMERS CONVICTED OF MURDER OF A FARM DWELLER] Three murderers, Jaco Wessels Kemp, Louise Coetzee , and Gert Frederik van der Westhuizen, all farmers, have been found guilty of the murder of Dumisani Phakathi, an adult male farm dweller. On 16 September 2023, the three farmers, were having a braai at the chicken farm in Mamokgalieskraal. At approximately 16h00, they saw Phakathi walking past the farm gate on his way to collect water from a nearby furrow, which community members commonly used as a water source. The three approached him and assaulted him. They then dragged him into a storage facility inside the chicken farm, where the assault continued until he succumbed to his injuries. In the early hours of 17 September 2023, at approximately 02h00, Kemp and Coetzee were stopped by police during a stop-and-search operation on the R511 towards Brits while driving a bakkie. The vehicle was loaded with black refuse bags. During the search, police noticed human legs protruding from underneath the bags. Upon further inspection, they discovered the bloodied body of the deceased, with his head covered in plastic. Kemp and Coetzee were immediately arrested at the scene. Van der Westhuizen handed himself over to the police on 19 September 2023 after investigations linked him to the offence. In court, all three accused pleaded not guilty to the charges and to shifted blame onto one another. However, the State Prosecutor, Advocate Lawrence More, presented compelling evidence through State witnesses, proving the State’s case beyond a reasonable doubt. The matter has been postponed to 16 March 2026 for sentencing proceedings.
